I'm going to smoke some Gauloises since those seem to be the heaviest cigarettes around in the night shop here. This is too much to bear for me.
If conveyed outwards, toward a non-gamer public, they would label me as a geek fanatic because I get all worked over for a video game.
I think it's safe to say, that we, as a community, have proven that these works of fiction are an item of utter and superior enjoyment for us, or rather were.
Now that I re-watched the ending again, I'm starting to find it rather beautiful. And this is not how it's meant to be. It's a certain "indoctrination". My mind tries to cope with the fact that a universe which even influenced my IR-life went down in such an awful and uninspiring way.
I've thought about nothing else for days now, I read a lot of Iain M. Banks, he likes to kill his main characters, I can live with that, they're his after all, same with a movie, you can't draw the same comparisons with a game it doesn't work. You are nowhere near as emotionally invested in book or movie characters, you don't make them your own, they don't have a piece of you like your game characters. I know this isn't the case for everyone, but I know this is why so many of us feel the way that we do right now.
I had very low EMS and I knew my outcome would not be good, I was expecting it, but you know what broke me more than anything? Kaidan and Garrus lying dead, I felt like crap ever since...my EMS was that low I didn't unlock anything, not even Synthesis so I have no idea who got off my Normandy.
I intend to play through all 3 at some point and change that outcome for the better...
Until then, holding the line!
